Download Public Comments Summary (375 KB General Information Packet City Council Report Agenda Date: 1/17/2019, Item No. 1 Arena Renovation Public Outreach This report provides the City Council a summary of the results of community outreach conducted on the proposed Arena renovations. Summary Based on City Council direction, the Communications Office worked with the Community and Economic Development Department to implement a public outreach process on the proposed Arena renovations. The process involved two main elements - five public meetings held throughout the City, and the creation of an extensive website on the proposed renovations published on www.phoenix.gov. Approximately 300 people attended the five public education meetings and provided 102 comments in total. Most attendees were in favor of the proposed Arena renovation as an economic driver for downtown and part of maintaining a vibrant city. Those opposed were concerned about the use of public funds and some indicated that funds should be used for other city needs. Other main areas of interest at the public meetings included commenters who asked if the City could pursue hockey in downtown Phoenix, questions about if the Suns could pay more of the renovation costs, and how renovation costs were being paid. Additionally, the Arena website and related social media outreach generated a notable amount of community response. The website opened on Thursday, Dec. 20, 2018, and in 26 days, it generated 2,231 visits from interested individuals. Visitors to the website also reviewed the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section 4,143 times, with the top viewed FAQ being: 1. “What about hockey?” 2. “Why is the city paying more than the Suns?” 3. “Why not tear it down and start over?” 4. “Will the Arena be closed during renovations?” There were 71 e-mailed comments sent to the Communications Office via a “comment option” on the website, and two phone calls, with the majority in favor of the proposed Arena renovation. Page 1 of 2 Agenda Date: 1/17/2019, Item No. 1 Staff used popular social media platforms to promote the public education meetings. There were 30 posts on the City’s Twitter account generating impressions of being seen approximately 405,763 times. Staff posted 19 messages on the city’s Facebook page reaching an audience of 33,745. In addition, all five of the public meetings were broadcast on PHXTV and posted on the city’s YouTube channel, generating a total of 847 views. A summary of public meeting comments, phone calls and e-mailed comments is included in this attachment, sorted by date (Attachment A). There were 102 comments in support, 39 comments in opposition and 34 general comments or questions. Comments were current as of Monday, Jan. 14. There was also a comment in support submitted to the court reporter at the public meetings, which is also attached (Attachment B). The meetings and renovation discussion were also extensively covered by news media, generating 103 stories in various broadcast and print news and sports outlets. Most of the pieces came from Associated Press coverage that was picked up both locally and nationally. All totaled, media analytics estimate the stories appeared in publications with a potential audience of more than 26 million readers per month during the public information campaign. This report will also be published on www.phoenix.gov/arena.

  • Phoenix-Suns
    City of Phoenix OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER Jason Rowley February 2, 2021 President & CEO Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns Arena - Phoenix Mercury - NAZ Suns Dear Mr. Rowley, The Special Events Committee has thoroughly evaluated your application to allow a limited number of fans to return to PHX Arena. We looked at all of the protocols that you proposed to ensure the safety of employees, attendees and the community-at-large. At the time of this letter only nine NBA teams have allowed limited attendance. The committee applauds your commitment to the protocols established by the NBA and the deliberate approach the Suns have taken as the NBA season has started. These protocols include: • Fans will not be allowed to sit courtside at games and must be at least 15 feet behind either team bench or 10 feet from the sideline; • All fans must fill out a questionnaire about their health status and must wear a mask unless eating or drinking; • Fans with tickets within 30 feet of the court must also return a negative COVID- 19 test within 48 hours prior to tipoffor pass an NBA-approved test on the day of the game. These same fans will not be allowed to eat or drink at their seat. The past year has been extremely difficult for our country, state, and city. I know we all collectively hope that the coming months will bring significant improvement and a return to normal. We are currently monitoring closely the COVID-19 metrics forour community. We must ensure that we don't inadvertently exacerbate existing conditions in how we re-open.
